The Business Perceptions Survey (BPS) sets out businesses’ views on the extent of regulation in the UK since 2007. The 2024 survey was commissioned by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and conducted by IFF Research.

The survey took place between 21 October 2024 and 24 January 2025 and included 2,000 computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI).

The objectives of the 2024 BPS were to:

  • assess the perceived effect of regulation on businesses
  • explore what aspects of regulation and regulatory delivery are considered most burdensome to businesses
  • explore businesses’ views on regulators in general
